This month, we're taking you behind-the-scenes on our DevelopUS investigation, and we want YOU to tell us what subtopic we should cover this year! But first, why did we start covering Columbus' development in the first place? A thread ⬇️ 1/3

Join us at First Presbyterian for our first event on 11/19! Suggested cover is $10 but pay what you can 💖 there will be music, poetry, hot drinks, and vibes for days.

Next Friday, 11/19 @ 8p patreon.com/posts/58601764

Come see what we've been working so hard on 🥰

Thank you for the bookmarks, Belt Publishing! Looking forward to adding more of your titles to the library in the future ☺️

Consider also: book donations for the library 😇

Join us next Friday for the second monthly Olde Towne Jazz Coffeehouse!

The People's Pantry is now open! Whether you're in need of basic necessities or want to donate, we'll be here at 1101 Bryden Rd (entrance in back) for everyone who needs it! If you can't donate and want to help out, spread this post far and wide!

@magpiekilljoy I'm an anarchist and this is the project I started with my friend Ellis. We're building physical and digital platforms for mutual aid projects in Columbus, Ohio and the surrounding area. ✌️ x.com/com_rad_app/st…

This Friday is going to be a treat - come see what we've been doing and imagine what we can do together. ❤️

See you there, friends!

Donation request from the FIRST Collective:

Please share, this is an ongoing need. #Columbus #Cbus #OldeTowneEast #MutualAidRequest #MutualAid #SolidarityNotCharity ❤️

The same guy offered to stay with them for a third night in a row. We're still looking for a Monday night volunteer, Tuesday is covered. ..Now to go ask for permission. 🤞😬

The FIRST Collective would like to open the church to unhoused members of the community this evening and is fundraising to cover the additional utility cost. Chip in if you have the means!

Tonight!

We're open tonight, and indefinitely, on cold nights. If you or anyone you know is sleeping rough tonight, we'll be there at 7:30. Come warm up. ❤️

20 guests last night, today I'm stocking up on supplies and meeting requests. We could use winter clothes of all adult sizes but had a special request for warm size 14 women's pants, if anyone has some to donate.

The FIRST Collective space is not open tonight, both due to the higher lows 🌡️ and our own staffing strains. We're trying to secure shelter for a pregnant guest with a broken foot. If you'd like to contribute to housing her for a few days, it'd be appreciated. 🙏
